Would that avoid my problem? If so, great, and we can potentially
remove it later if things are fixed the right way. (We should note so
on the ticket if we add code we expect to remove later.)

To respond to a previous email from Kevin;  As a HLL implementor (as
opposed to any of the parrot hats I wear) I don't really care that the
particular patch didn't *cause* the problem, but I do very much care
that it *exposed* the problem. It's a distinction without a difference
from a non-core developer's standpoint.

It may have only happened to work before, but it *did work before*, on
all of parrot's core platforms.

I'd *really* like partcl to be able to target parrot releases, rather
than a particular SVN revision. (Unless that revision is much closer
to HEAD than it is now.).

Regards.
